Bought a couple gaskets at the car dealer today and as usual at the front counter where you pay they have some cute blonde chick. Her attitude is that of doing her job, nothing more nothing less, but that is not what this is about.

The gasket is $4.57 and I give her a 5. She is taking a long time to get my 43 cents. Obviously struggling with simple math. Although when on the spot and making change doing the math in your head lots of people fukk up.

I'm standing there thinking come on toots give me back 43 cents. She finally gets it together and gives me 42 cents. 1 penny short, I say nothing because it's just to small to quibble over.

I'm just saying if your in retail and you suck at math keep a fukkin calculator on hand. Don't be embarrassed if you have trouble with even small change.

I know what you mean Hitrack it's pretty funny watching some of these cashiers trying to figure out change unless it's an even number they end up looking completely perplexed. When I pay I like to get back as little coin as possible so if I owe $10.08 and I have a $20, 3 pennies and a dime I'll give them the dime and the 3 pennies but since the change I've given them doesn't add up to 8 cents they end up looking completely confused. Some of them even ask why I've given this extra change. :rolleyes:

I know, isn't that special when they give you that look like when a little dog just shat on the rug.....head tilted to one side, glazed over eyes

For fuck sakes, just enter the amount of cash provided (included the extra change) into that big beige thing in front of you that you normally just swipe debit/credit cards through......I know its hard to believe but it's actually a fancy calculator

Don't most of today's cash registers calculate the change automatically?
Of course but the drone like clerks aren't used to handling cash these days so get all verklempt when you give them anything other then plastic or paper money.

p.s. love the borat pic :cool: happy you didn't go with this one :eek:

Next time you go back, find her, and buy something for less than $10. Put down the bill but at the same time say $20!

It worked for me at 7-11. The absent minded clerk puts the bill in the cash register in the $10 slot, proceeds to give me change for a $20... then stops to think about it with change in hand, looks at me, and I say "I gave you a 20", then I look behind me at the long lineup and look at him, and he hurriedly gives me the change.
